Young fans from three to six years old are selected at rodeos and carnivals to ride sheep going about 20 miles per hour. The crowd cheers on the kids, who are at that point holding on for dear life.

“People eat it up,” Giodone said, “I wish I had some sheep from Jurassic Park because I could do this for adults all day long.”

Some critics say the practice puts animals and children at risk. But Giodone showed off protective gear similar to that worn by professional bull riders. Riders also wear hockey helmets with full face masks.

Just as much care goes into the animals, who Giodone refers to as his babies. “We have a strict 60 pound weight limit … and that’s to protect the animal.”

Parent Melissa Rockey admits she was nervous when her kids wanted to give it a try. Eventually, she came around to the idea when she saw how excited they were.

“I think there’s risk involved in anything the kids are going to do. They can fall of their bike and get hurt,” Rockey said.

Giodone has three different trucks performing in 16 events around the country. Winners from each of those stops win a trip to the finals where they compete for the chance to win a $5,000 savings bond.
